How Much Is A 1885 $10 Bill Worth?

Ten dollar bills from 1885 can have either a brown seal or a blue seal. Brown seal notes tend to be more valuable. Don’t let the year 1885 fool you. 1885 is just the date that the national bank formed. Despite saying series of 1882 and 1885, these were actually printed as late as 1905. So the date on the $10 bill rarely matches when the bill was actually printed. Some 1885 tens can be especially valuable. The value is all based on the bank of issue, condition, and serial number of the actual bill. Anyone who wants to buy or sell an 1885 $10 bill needs to be aware of those factors. We have a list of all the national banks that opened in 1885 that also printed ten dollar bills. Some of these banks are rare, some are common. The value of common notes is a few hundred dollars. The value of rare 1885 $10 bills can be thousands of dollars. The reason these bills are so rare is because ten dollars was a lot of money in 1885. That is the same as $817.26 today, after you adjust for inflation! You can see why so few 1885 $10 bills still exist. They were incredibly expensive to save.
